Special Features: Established in 1908, the small farming community of Allensworth was the only California town to be founded, financed, and governed by African Americans. Its founding father, Colonel Allen Allensworth, was a former slave, Union soldier, army chaplain, and the highest ranking black officer of his time. Uncontrollable circumstances, including a drop in the area's water table, resulted in the town's demise, but, with continuing restoration and special events, the town is coming back to life as a state historic park.
